If you take a nap at the same time every day the expectancy reward is....so so. If you take a nap whenever you feel like it then you may benefit more (not included in the study). I generally nap after eating, it gives the enteric nervous system (our other brain) all my energy to do its thing. Of course always be wary of "studies have shown"
